Removal of Communication Cable
A Pin that fit the HR200 “dismount hole”is needed. A paper clip could be ideal. Stretch one end of the
paper clip to fit the “Dismount Hole”. Follow the steps:
For RS232 and PS/2 connections, unplug the power adaptor.1、
Insert the Pin into “Dismount Hole”and keep some pressure.2、
Pull out the cable gently.3、
Pull out the Pin after the cable is removed.4、
Unplug the connector from the Host.5、

ON, OFF, IDLE, RESTART
Connect HR200 and Host, HR200 will power on automatically and in "Idle" (ready to use) state (factory
default).
Power On
Power Off
There are 4 ways to "Power OFF":
Remove Cable Off HR200;»
Remove Power Adapter Off RS232 Cable;»
Remove USB Cable Off the Host;»
Remove PS/2 cable off the Host. If a power adapter is connected, remove it off too.»
IDLE Mode
When reader is NOT reading, it is in "IDLE mode".
No reading attempt within a timeout, the Imager switch to IDLE mode automatically.
RESTART
If HR200 halted and does not respond to operations, please "Restart" by "Power OFF", and then "Power
ON".
Maintenance
The scan window must be kept clean. Improper maintenance will breach the limited warranty.»
Avoid rough objects not to damage or scratch the window.»
Use brush to remove the stain.»
Use soft cloth (cloth for glasses) to clean.»
Prohibit spraying towards the window.»
Only use clean water as a cleanser.»
